THE THE POSER Your guy may be subconsciously copping this cocky-looking pose as a way for him to work some swagger… even in his sleep. He’s probably desiring some more power in your relationship. Basically, you’re so take-charge that he doesn’t have as much of a say in things as he’d like. So step back and let him direct the plans this weekend. It’ll give you a break and allow him to take on the responsibility responsi bility he’s hungry for.

WHAT HIS SLEEP HABITS CAN TELL YOU Whether you suspect something’s up with your guy right now or just want to take a peek at his psyche, check him out in bed. Certain subtle moves can clue you in to stuff that’s secretly brewing in that brain of his. By Korin Miller

He’s clenching his fists because he’s probably feeling aggressi ve. Something is bugging him—quite possibly something he i sn’t even consciously aware of. If you haven’t noticed any problems in your relationship, then it likely has nothing to do with you. However, that inner struggle means he may get a bit testy. Encourage him to do something physical, like hit the gym with you—he’ll be able to work out some of that tension until he pinpoints the real is sue.

THE CROTCH CROTCH CRADLER CRADLER Your guy is cradling his junk, aka his most sensitiv e area, because he may be feeling uncertain. It c ould be work issues or family drama, but whatever it is, he’s craving comfort. Sleep so you’re spooning him—this subconsciously signals that you’re on his side and want to support him. And when you’re out of bed, make sure to give him ex tra affection to let him know you’re around if he wants to talk.

Sleeping with his legs tangled up in the sheets can indicate that he feels like he isn’t pleasing you enough. No matter how tough he may act, your man has a hidden sensitive side. The worry that he’s not up to par can cause him to toss and turn, getting him ensnared in the bedding. Tell your guy the next day how happy he makes you to put his mind at ease.
